Tens of thousands of Israelis are spending the day in air raid shelters and schools have been closed after more than 60 rockets and mortars were fired from Gaza.

At least four people were wounded in the attacks which followed Israeli air strikes on what the Israeli Defence Force (IDF) said were "terrorist cells" in southern Gaza, after a group of men fired a rocket.

The IDF said 65 missiles had been fired into Israel today.

There have been days of firing across the border by both sides and tensions are rising.

At least three Palestinians have been killed in the past two days and were thought to be from the Popular Resistance Committees (PRC).
